Practices vary between sites, but typical move requestors are:

• department managers requesting moves for new hires to their departments, as well as departures from their departments
• Human Resources personnel requesting rooms for new hires or departures (if not handled by the department manager)
• department managers requesting moves to accommodate promotions or reorganization within their department
• IT staff requesting old equipment to be moved to storage
• division or business unit managers responsible for implementing large-scale company reorganizations
• facilities managers and move coordinators responsible for overseeing a move to a new facility or merging staff after an acquisition

These users  initiate the move by entering a request into the Moves system, specifying the current and new locations and special notes about the move. If they have access to the Workplace Services Portal mobile app, they can do this directly from their smart phone or mobile device.

Receive email informing them as to whether the move request has been approved or denied.
